12th April 2023 - 12:05pm - Wednesday - Fabulous trip to the Saatchi Gallery

Our group were very fortunate to get some FREE tickets to the Saatchi Gallery, off the Kings Road, near Chelsea.

We are good friends with another group called Eagle Project. John, who helps to run Eagles, joins our weekly quiz on Thursday nights. They got the tickets and invited us to join them, which was really nice.

In the end we had nine of us head to the Gallery on Easter Monday - the 10th.

Going in at 2:30pm we were faced with an amazing exhibition focusing on Street Art and Graffiti. Taking it right back to the 70s and 80s and 90s in New York and Los Angeles, as well as in London.

Fascinating history, and now to see if featured in such a prestigious gallery in London is amazing. Some of the more modern pieces were so colourful and imaginative.

Here we are afterwards, in a nearby Pret A Manger, grabbing a coffee and talking about what we had seen.

Thanks to everyone who came, in particular Mary for whom this was her first outing with us.

21st April 2023 - 12:55pm - Friday: Courses have started with great feedback

HMHB's main focus is on our Mind-set Course, which focuses on Mind-set, Nutrition, Exercise, and Health - a fun, interactive, and pioneering course. Thankfully we have been able to get funding to enable us to do courses with a variety of different organisations, and four have already started. We have already had two days with Better Lives, delivering at King Henry's Walk in Islington, on the border with Hackney. The picture above is with some of them, and we have had a blast so far. We have also started a course with Finsbury Park Job Centre, although I am not sure just how well they have promoted it to their users as, sadly, only one person came, even though they said they enjoyed the session. On alternate Fridays we are working with the Stuart Low Trust out of Jean Stokes Community Centre off the Caledonian Road. We had around 15-20 people come along to our first week, and the general consensus was that they enjoyed it very much. Finally we did a fantastic event wit...

5th April 2023 - 3:15pm - Wednesday - New Monthly Health Pack for April is published

We published our latest Monthly Health Pack this week - for April 2023 - a massive 40 pages. Yes, it takes a lot of hours and research, but I think it is a fabulous way to reach people and get our message across about trying to be healthy, as well as we all have a responsibility to look after our amazing bodies. April issue is jam packed full of info, news, photos, games, and more. We have PDFs of all our packs on our website, and they can be downloaded from there. www.hmhb2016.org.uk The packs have been going for three years - ever since the first lockdown in 2020. Wow, is it really that long ago? We did 50 weekly issues, half of them being 26 pages. We then moved to 36 page monthly, and that has increased to 40 pages - which we feel is just about the maximum we can achieve. Do check them out. We focus on Mind-set, Nutrition, Exercise, and Health - but also include fun, quizzes, news, recipes, and other stuff.

Welcome to HMHB's new Blog - all about us and what we are doing

I will confess that the previous blog had not had an entry for around a year and a half. Not because I did not want to, but I got out of the habit and then it just ran away from me. It was www.hmhb2016.blogspot.com So that is still available to look at for back history. However, I have been determined to start a new blog since the start of 2023 (you can see how long it has taken to get around to actually doing it!!!). So here we are. This blog is going to be talking about what I did that day (or the day before, depending on when I type the entry into it). I am not going to bother going into too much history here - you can see that on our website on our "About" page: www.hmhb2016.org.uk Do sign up for our blog to see how we are progressing. 2023 is going to be a busy year for Healthy Minds, Healthy Bods, and it would be terrific to have people following us, supporting us, and that gives us encouragement and focus.
